First video on YouTube. :))

Guess what? I just posted my first video on YouTube. I'm making a huge embarrassment of myself, but oh well. :))

You could go and watch it here if you're interested. Please don't make fun of me. :/ I did it purely for fun and experience. :D

Nail Polish Haul

Hey everyone, it's been almost a month since I posted here. Again, I'm sorry for being MIA all the time. Same reason, I'm still busy with school and stuff since second semester just started. I haven't been buying a lot of makeup lately, I'm trying to save up for Christmas which is fast approaching. Aren't we all excited? :D

Anyway, yesterday I went to Chimes. It's a specialty store here in Davao which sells a whole lot of stuff. Stuff that usually see in the mall. They sell more like imported things. They also sell some high-end cosmetics which is cool. I passed by the nail polish section and was amazed with the selection. It was bigger now compared to the last time I went. Then I found these nail polishes with cute bottles, at first I looked at the colors they had, they had about 30 cool colors to choose from. Then I looked at the price, hoping it would be expensive so that I would not buy it, but then it was just P29.50, how couldn't I say no?



It's called Diffi. I don't know where it's made from though. It doesn't have a specific name for each color too, just a number at the bottom.


This one's M32. In real life it looks like a blueish-purple, and it's matte. Sorry for the crappy webcam photo.


And this one's B22. It's just a gray color. This was the first one I wanted to get since I can't find a good gray matte colors from the local brands here in the Philippines.

Over all, I love it. I'm going back to buy more since it IS very cheap. :D

That's it. Thanks for reading. :)

Revlon Photoready Foundation

Hey everyone! It's already October, crazy right? I think 2010 went by so fast. :/

So anyways, this week's going to be the last for our first semester, which means we have a break after, for like 3 weeks. :/

This is just going to be a quick post about the Revlon Photoready Foundation which I got from a swap a couple months back. I never really had the time to play around with it, until today. I tried taking pictures with me wearing it. :)

Excuse the brows, and excuse me for being such a camwhore. ;) I got the shade 006 Medium Beige. I actually like it compared to Colorstay. It looks and feels much lighter. I must agree that it works well for photos. :)

That's it, I have to go and study now. Ciao everyone! :]

Just because it's almost 2 in the morning, and I can't go to be. > :(

Yes, you got that right. I decided to make a blog post since I can't sleep and I have to do something to keep myself busy, yay for that! :)

Sooo, I just want to share some pictures with you all. Things that happened a couple months back, when I went MIA. ;)

First up, my highschool friend asked me to do her makeup for their ballet recital. At first, I was kinda hesitant because doing other people's makeup is such a tough job for me, since I'm not used to it. But in the end though, I took the challenge. :) PS, please don't laugh on how I did her look, I know I suck. But hey, it was just for fun. :p

Next up, my 18th birthday. Here in the Philippines, we usually throw a huge party when girls turn 18, but I decided not to. I was just being practical. ;) I didn't have any plans, but my friend decided to throw me a surprise party which was very sweet. Part 2 was actually in our dorm, my dormies and cousin suprised me with 2 cakes. :D

Last one, some recent pictures of me. Just a proof that I'm still alive. :p Just kidding. I just wanna share pictures of me wearing the Myra VitaGlow Tinted Moisturizer which I've been kinda loving. ;)

I used MAC MSFN to set it, and NARS Orgasm Blush for my cheeks. So far, I'm liking the combination! ;)

That's it. I hope you enjoyed the pictures I shared. Again, I'm sorry for not posting all the time. I've been concentrating with my studies. I swear I'm gonna visit when I have the time though. ;)

Take care lovely ladies. =]

I'M ALIIIIIIVE! :D

Hey ya'll! Yes, I am still alive and kicking. ^_^

My last blog post was about 4 months ago, crazy! I am very sorry for my absence. Here's a quick update about my life:

-Shifted course, from Nursing to Human Resource Management. I tried very hard to love Nursing, but it didn't work out.
-My laptop, and his name's Pablo, isn't with me, thus, the lack of post.
-Had summer classes, everyday. I pretty much spent all my summer at school. No vacation for me.
-I *kinda* got my heart broken over the summer. :|
-Now I'm a college sophomore, yay! :)
-My birthday's in a week, turning 18. Not that excited. ;)
-Exam week next week, that sucks. -.-
-My blog's turning one year old this month, I can't remember the exact day though.
-I haven't been buying makeup for the past couple of months, but I'm still swapping. ;)

That's basically it. Again, I'm sorry for being MIA. I hope you're all doing good. I missed blogging. :)

Bye. :D

I am probably the worst person in the whole wide universe. :/

Remember this post? I said I'm not gonna buy anything for lent. Well guess what? I broke it. I feel so bad for breaking it, but I just can't help it. Maybe it's not the right time yet? Maybe I'll do it when I'm REALLY ready.

Oh well, wanna know what made me break my no-buy? It's this..





It's the most hyped MAC Ripe Peach Blush Ombre. I didn't get it myself, I asked sis Em, who has been my textmate for the past few days. ;) She told me that if I want something, I'd just tell her, since she knows MAC isn't availabe here in Davao. It took me days to decide if I should get this or not, and so, I gave in. I asked her to reserve one for me, this was even before the collection was released. She texted someone from MAC, and boom, I got one for myself. ^_^ I heard it's OOS everywhere, so I feel very lucky. This is probably my last blush purchase (I also said this to myself when I bought NARS O. LOL). I'd rather buy it for P1470 ($29) as to Ebay's $70 which is crazyyy. :O It looks very pretty, reminds me of sunset. I haven't even swatched it yet, I just like looking at it. I know, I'm a dork. :p

And also, I got this..


Sis Em included this, it was wrapped and I seriously thought it was food. It's the Etude House Duo Fiber Cheek Brush, this has been on my wishlist for quite a long time already, and she included one. I'm sooo happy! :D

Again, thank you so so sooo much Em. :)

That's it, sorry for the crappy pictures. ;)

Last day of final exams tomorrow. Yehey summer. ^_^

Random Act of Kindess. ^_^

Don't you just love kind and generous people?

If you're familiar with MakeupAlley, then you probably know what RAOK is, or Random Act of Kindess. Some people give their used or unused stuff since they're not using it and it's much better to give it to those who would enjoy it. 2 weeks ago, I received a message on MUA from a lady, she asked me if I wanted MAC Mercurial Mineralize Eyeshadow as an RAOK, I thought she wasn't serious, but she was. She even let me choose from her list, but the eyeshadow was already enough for me, so I chose not to. ;)

Today I got the stuff she sent me. I just love receiving stuff in the mail. :)

MAC Mercurial Mineralize Eyeshadow

MAC Gorgeous Gold Eyeshadow

Sephora BeautyInsider Lip Gloss

YSL Rouge Pure Shine Sheer Lipstick

When I opened the envelope, the lipstick jumped out first, like literally. ;) She sent me a lot, and I'm very thankful. :D

That's it. Sorry for the lack of post ladies, been very busy with our finals. Summer's fast approaching. ^_^

Take care always. :)
